Bureau for Unstable Urbanism is proposed as a trans-national network of individuals and groups involved in a variety of practices that engage in different ways with contemporary urban space, actually or conceptually. The project was initiated in Bergen (Norway) but is not specific to any country or city. The notion of “unstable urbanism” is an undefined yet resonant term to describe ways of thinking about or acting upon changing urban phenomena.

"We live in a world increasingly determined by transience and cities of the 21st. century are in a constant state of flux. Now, cranes have becomes a permanent feature of the landscape as this accelerated process endlessly reshapes every city."
